Teaching Excellence Program 2025
Our school values the learning and development of our staff, and the positive impact this has on student outcomes and school improvement.
We are proud to share that Jitske Wiersma has begun her professional learning journey through the Teaching Excellence Program at the Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership.
This program enables teachers to advance their capabilities and excellence in teaching.
Through the program, Jitske will grow her knowledge of teaching practice by participating in 10 in person days of professional learning and inquiring deeply into 2 areas of her practice, using the evidence-informed practice, generative AI, First Nations’ perspectives, student engagement tools and discipline-specific learning. They will also be inspired by national and international experts in the field of education through 2 dedicated conferences.
We look forward to working with Jitske to implement her knowledge and skills from the program to continue to support student outcomes and wellbeing at our school.
We are proud that we have Jitske representing our school and supporting the Academy in raising the status of this amazing profession!
We are also very proud of the teachers who participated in the program last year: Travis McKenzie, Sara-Jane Smith, James Hardie and Thuy-Linh Nguyen
